MuleSoft Exam MCIA-Level-1 Topic 11 Question 86 Discussion

Actual exam question for MuleSoft's MCIA-Level-1 exam

Question #: 86
Topic #: 11

During a planning session with the executive leadership, the development team director presents plans for a new API to expose the data in the company's order database. An earlier effort to build an API on top of this data failed, so the director is recommending a design-first approach.

Which characteristics of a design-first approach will help make this API successful?

ABuilding MUnit tests so administrators can confirm code coverage percentage during deployment

BPublishing the fully implemented API to Exchange so all developers can reuse the API

CAdding global policies to the API so all developers automatically secure the implementation before coding anything

DDeveloping a specification so consumers can test before the implementation is built

But wouldn't adding global policies to automatically secure the implementation be helpful too?

I think having a specification for consumers to test before implementation is key.

Yeah, that makes sense to me too. Having a clear specification will help us make sure the API is actually meeting the needs of the consumers. Plus, it'll make it easier to test and validate the implementation.

Okay, so which of these options do you think is the best way to make the API successful? I'm leaning towards (D) – developing a specification so consumers can test before the implementation is built.

Are you kidding? No way, man. A design-first approach is the way to go. It'll help us make sure the API is actually useful and solves the right problems.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Wouldn't it be better to just start coding and see what works? I mean, that's how we usually do things, right?

Yeah, I agree. The design-first approach seems like a really smart move. It'll help us avoid the pitfalls we ran into before.

Wow, a design-first approach, huh? I remember when we tried to build that API the last time, it was a total disaster. I'm glad they're taking a different approach this time.
